One person was killed Saturday and several others were seriously injured in car accidents throughout the country.

In the Golan Heights, a man was killed when a tractor overturned, pinning the victim down.

An 8-year-old boy was seriously injured after being hit by a car on Route 90. A truck that overturned near the Arava Junction seriously injured one man and moderately injured another.

In Holon, a man aged around 30 was seriously hurt in a crash between a motorcycle and a car. Also in the city an electric bike rider was seriously hurt after being hit by a car.

Those accidents came a day after a year-old baby and a man in his 30s were killed in a car crash near Haifa. Three family members of the infant — two parents and a 6-year-old girl — were injured.

The man who died was driving one vehicle while the family members were in the other.

Of the family, the father, aged around 40, was in serious condition; the mother, a woman in her 30s, and the 6-year-old girl were in moderate condition; the infant was initially in critical condition but was declared dead some time later.
